Primary Colours - Music on the Canal \/ Musique sur le canal
Advertisement
Primary Colours is a Canadian piano trio that builds from the traditions of jazz, with influences from modern acts like Robert Glasper, GoGo Penguin, Tigran Hamasyan and Herbie Hancock. Blending acoustic and electric elements, the trio flows between head-nodding grooves and soulful melodies, discovering the unexpected through their improvisational virtuosity. The trio features Deniz Lim-Sersan on keys, Chris Pond on bass and José Hernandez García on drums.
Music on the Canal
The concert takes place on the Rideau Canal beginning near the NAC, under the Rideau Street Bridge. The musician-packed boat will arrive at Lansdowne Park approximately 45 minutes later and then return back. The sets run approximately 90 minutes.
Tips and tricks for enjoying Music on the Canal
We recommend you find a spot along the canal, not at the starting point at the NAC, where you will be able to hear the boat as it approaches and then continues down the canal. Pack a picnic, bring some folding chairs and let the music come to you!
If you want more than a glimpse, you can cycle along to keep up as the boat moves faster than walking pace.

Primary Colours est un trio de piano canadien qui s’inspire des traditions du jazz, influencé par des artistes modernes comme Robert Glasper, GoGo Penguin, Tigran Hamasyan et Herbie Hancock. Mariant l’acoustique et l’électrique, le trio navigue entre grooves entraînants et mélodies profondes, découvrant l’inattendu grâce à son don pour l’improvisation. Il est composé de Deniz Lim-Sersan aux claviers, Chris Pond à la basse et José Hernandez García à la batterie.
Musique sur le Canal
Le concert se déroulera sur le canal Rideau avec, comme point de départ, le quai situé près du CNA, sous le pont de la rue Rideau. Le bateau et les instrumentistes à son bord mettront le cap sur le parc Lansdowne, qu’ils atteindront environ 45 minutes plus tard, avant de revenir à leur point de départ. La traversée musicale durera environ 90 minutes.
Nos conseils pour profiter au mieux de Musique sur le Canal:
Nous vous recommandons de vous installer le long du canal plutôt qu’au point de départ, au CNA. Vous pourrez ainsi entendre le bateau s’approcher, puis poursuivre sa route sur le canal. Apportez votre pique-nique, installez vos chaises pliantes et laissez la musique venir à vous!
Si vous préférez suivre le concert de près, enfourchez votre vélo. Vous aurez du mal à suivre le bateau à pied!
